Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives, USA.

Blade: Stonewashed CPM-S30V is delivered in a utilitarian drop point profile with a durable high saber grind and sweeping belly that is excellent for skinning and game processing as well as general outdoor cutting tasks. The high saber grind offers well-balanced cutting performance and durability while a small choil makes for easy sharpening of the full plain edge. Two sections of jimping on the spine provide added traction: the rear section for the thumb in a saber grip and the forward for the index finger in a pinch grip.

Handle: Warm and comfortable, the stabilized wood handles are also durable and weather resistant. Attached to the full tang blade with black hardware, the scales are contoured for comfort and ergonomic use with ramps down to the blade for added comfort in a forward pinch grip. Wide jimping on the spine provides added traction in adverse conditions and a hole at the pommel provides a lanyard attachment point for added security.

Sheath: Carries via a molded brown leather belt sheath with snap loop retention.

CPM-S30V: A powdered stainless steel with high levels of edge retention and corrosion resistance S30V was developed specifically for use in knife blades. The powdered process gives it a very refined grain, improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
